To try where there is little hope, is to risk failure.
Not to try at all, is to guarantee it!

I got the 8.8 rear in... I will be using 28x11.50 Mickey Thompson ET Street's on the rear. This is the set I have for when I'm driving my 41 race car on the street. These tires fit without any modification to the body or frame. I did have to modify the lower spring plate. The original axle tubes were 3" diameter, and the 8.8 has 1-1/4 tubes, so the new U bolts wouldn't fit.

Good looking car and your work is making it look better.
Just a hint when posting from postimage change your setting, at the top where you copy the links, to "hotlink for forums" and the pics will be bigger so we get a bigger view of your car.
